A Little History: "Do You Hear What I Hear?" is a Christmas song written in October 1962 with lyrics by Noel Regney and music by Gloria Shayne Baker. The pair were married at the time, and wrote it as a plea for peace during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Noel Regney wrote the lyrics for the song, while Gloria Shayne Baker composed the Christmas carol's music. Regney was inspired to write the lyrics "Said the night wind to the little lamb, 'Do you see what I see?' " and "Pray for peace, people everywhere," after watching babies being pushed in strollers on the sidewalks of New York City. Baker stated in an interview years later that neither could personally perform the entire song at the time they wrote it because of the emotions surrounding the Cuban Missile Crisis.
